Nonogram — also known as Picross, Griddlers or pixel puzzle — is a clean, elegant pixel logic puzzle game. Decode the hidden pixel art from the number clues on each row and column, and enjoy the moment when pure logic reveals the picture. No math, no guessing, no luck. Just deduction, one cell at a time. WHAT IS A NONOGRAM? Nonogram (Picross, Griddlers, "picture cross") originated in Japan. The numbers on each row and column tell you the lengths and order of consecutive filled cells. By logical deduction alone you gradually reveal a beautiful piece of pixel art. SIX DIFFICULTIES, FROM BEGINNER TO MASTER - Easy 5×5: jump right in, no experience needed - Medium 10×10: get a taste of logical deduction - Hard 15×15: put your observation skills to the test - Expert 20×20: every move requires careful thought - Master 30×30: built for the ultimate puzzle enthusiast CAMPAIGN MODE Six hand-crafted chapters with 120 levels to conquer.
